The simple trick to turn a "smart" TV into a regular one is too cut off its internet access.

Except it will still run like shit and may send telemetry via other means to your neighbors same brand TV

I've never heard of that. Do you have a source on that? And how would it run like shit if you're using something like a Chromecast?

I don't know about the telemetry, but my smart tv runs like shit after being on for a few hours. Only a full power cycle makes it work properly again.
